Chapitre 423: Another Contract

This time Jake happened to know the survivor. The man who lived through his night attack was Gordon Mason, the Bailiff. It seems that by his conduct and ambition he had alienated some people.

By habit, Jake then checked the status of his Ordeal Missions. The list of people to protect had only grown longer, Kewanee and Svara having joined the restricted club of people under his protection.

Upon discovering a gray name in the middle of that list, his laid-back face dimmed again. Lily was dead. Tim and Daniel wouldn't be happy about that... He just hoped her death hadn't occurred in their presence or they wouldn't be able to forgive themselves.

Tim's luck tended to extend to those he wanted to protect, but there was a limit to it. In the face of the unfathomable power of this game' s creator, it would be commendable if the teenager managed to protect himself.
